The disruptor, or phase disruptor, is a type of direct-energy weapon in common use among many non-Federation races in the galaxy including the Andorians, Borg, Breen, Cardassians, Dominion, Ferengi, Gorn, Klingons, Lysians, Rigelians, and Romulans.

Lysian destroyers were armed with a disruptor weapon system that had a capacity of 2.1 megajoules. (TNG: "Conundrum")

The Cardassian outpost on Korma used "system five" disruptors for its planetary defense weapons. Although never designed to operate aboard a moving spacecraft, one was modified to be used aboard the Cardassian military freighter Groumall in 2372. (DS9: "Return to Grace")

In 2374, disruptor bursts from Jem'Hadar soldiers left anti-coagulants in the systems of those attacked by such a weapon, usually causing their victims to suffer and die from the loss of blood. (DS9: "Change of Heart")

Romulan disruptors leave behind residual antiprotons when fired that remain for several hours. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy")

As of 2267, the people of Eminiar VII employed sonic disruptor weapons which presumably operated in an entirely different fashion from phase disruptors. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon") Similarities between Eminian sidearms and Klingon weapons of the same period can be explained as a result of the expedient modification and reuse of existing props to accommodate the limitations of television production budgets.
